> Can you outline the media into which you want your bullets shot?

If I have sufficient phone books, I will test these bullets for penetration and expansion. As phone books come out in early spring here in Eastern Virginia, I cannot supplement the supply, so I may not be able to stop these bullets. My procedure is to bundle the phone books with string, and soak the six-inch bundles in barrels of water overnight. The water must be replenished about midway through the soaking period. The bundles are then stacked horizontally on a table at 25 or 50 yards. My 320 gr 45 cal pistol bullets at 1400 fps penetrate 40+ inches. Bullets cast of two parts wheelweight and one part linotype and dropped into water do not expand at all. If cast of wheelweight and air-cooled they rivet rather nicely. Penetration is the same for both. At 700 gr and possibly 1500+ fps, I expect to need at least 60 inches of phone books. We’ll see. Take care, Tom
